Although it’s resolved now, I sure can relate to that predicament. I’d worked a couple of years as a contract employee for a natural gas pipeline feasibility study. Nice job but they finally decided to put everything on the back burner and I went on the job hunt. Early on, I interviewed for a job with the FAA. A couple of months go by and I hear nothing. Meanwhile, I put my resume on Monster.com and bang, I get a call from AT&T to interview for the Office Manager position at their new wireless Internet project in town.
So, I got the job and the first couple of weeks are good. Nice place. Nice people. Low key. Then out of the blue, I get a call from the FAA with an offer for that job I’d completely forgotten about. The fed job was a slight pay cut but there’s a retirement plan and other benefits. What to do, what to do. I slept on it, then took the position in the morning.
I could only give the AT&T boss a week’s notice. He wasn’t pleased but he understood. One more week passes and on my last day, providence smiles down upon me. The project had a lot of dissatisfied customers and the word came down to pull the plug. To think, I came >>>this<<< close to being on the job hunt again after turning down a good offer. Instead, I was off to my new job, where I am almost four years later. Sometimes, things just work out.

Nice work Chris, glad to see you got a job. Good luck with everything and remember to bring your chainmail in to work on during breaks!
Honestly, this is awesome to read, congratulations and best of luck!
